Keep Halloween Fun

The cutest thing happened on Monday.
I was shopping for Halloween candy at the evil Super Wal-Mart in DePere, the only Wal-Mart I will really ever step a foot in. I was next to the candy wall, looking at taffy, chewy candies, chocolate, gummy bears, gummy worms and anything else that will probably give me another cavity.

A young woman tapped me on the shoulder. I could tell she probably was not from this country, as her English was a little broken.
She said, "Miss...what should I get for Halloween? Can you help?" I said, "oh, you're buying candy for trick-or-treaters?" She said, "yes, and this is my first Halloween. What should I get?"
I looked at the wall and said "any of this!" She said, "anything?" I said, "oh yes, anything with chocolate or caramel....PERFECT. All this stuff is good." She politely said thank you and carried on.

Now, if I were one of those healthy crazy people, I would've led her somewhere else. But no way will I ruin the fun.

An article on MSNBC talked about how we can make Halloween more healthy by providing raisins, trail mix and popcorn.

I'm sorry, but raisins?!? You know what I did with my raisins when I got them for Halloween?? I chucked them!

I realize we have an obesity epidemic, especially among our youth, but I do think we can still enjoy Halloween and its candy in moderation.
